Saving child entity is not saving the foreign key with entity framework

I have the following entities:

 public class Entidad
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Nombre { get; set; }

        public virtual ICollection<Propiedad> Propiedades { get; set; }
}




 public class Propiedad
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public virtual Entidad Entidad { get; set; }

        public string Codigo { get; set; }
        public string Nombre { get; set; }
        public string TipoDeDatos { get; set; }
    }

And I have this controller action

 [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include="Id,Codigo,Nombre,TipoDeDatos")] Propiedad propiedad)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                db.Propiedades.Add(propiedad);
                db.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }

            return View(propiedad);
        }

and on my view:

<div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Entidad, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Entidad.Id, (SelectList)(ViewBag.EntidadList), "Seleccionar", new { @class = "form-control" })
            </div>
        </div>

However when I debug the controller the Entidad property on the Propiedad entity is NULL

In the declaration on DataAnnotation Bind at the Create method, you are not including Entidad property, never will be binded, just remove the Bind DataAnnotation or include it.
