pass value from EditorTemplate to its Layout Template only, in mvc 6

is there a way of passing value from the EditorTemplate to its Layout (not the site _Layout, but the template Layout)

in MVC 5 I was having something like this: EditorTemplates/MyStr.cshtml

@{     Layout = "_FieldLayout.cshtml";     ViewData.ModelMetadata.AdditionalValues.Add("__idpostfix", "-cde"); } @Html.CustomHelper("")  

the CustomHelper uses 2 input tags, one for display/edit and other for holding value, both have ids, the display one has -cde postfix and the _FieldLayout.cshtml had this:

@{     var postfix = ViewData.ModelMetadata.AdditionalValues.ContainsKey("__idpostfix") ? ViewData.ModelMetadata.AdditionalValues["__idpostfix"] : string.Empty; } @Html.Label("", new {@for = ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(string.Empty) + postfix}) ...  

now in mvc 6 AdditionalValues is a ReadOnly dictionary, so is there another way of doing this, atm my best bet is to just use a different FieldLayout for when I need the postfix
