When you click edit, Kendo uses the default EditorTemplate for the object. If you're not familiar how editor templates work, check this article.

You have two ways of solving it, either by creating a custom view editor templates that only lists the fields you want. Or (and this is simpler and preferred method), in many cases you can get away with the default editor template and control which fields are rendered (and how) using metadata on the object. You can hide individual properties by tagging them with [ScaffoldColumn(false)] attribute. In terms of controlling the types of editors that show up, you can accomplish this by tagging your properties with [DataType(DataType.Date)] or [DataType(DataType.Text)]
