### Describe the bug
I am trying to create a custom metadata provider in .NET 6 just like we have in .NET code given below
`[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = true)]
public class IsIdentifierAttribute : Attribute, IMetadataAware
{
public bool IsIdentifier { get; set; }
public IsIdentifierAttribute()
{
this.IsIdentifier = true;
}
public IsIdentifierAttribute(bool IsIdentifier)
{
this.IsIdentifier = IsIdentifier;
}
public void OnMetadataCreated(ModelMetadata metadata)
{
metadata.AdditionalValues["IsIdentifier"] = IsIdentifier;
}
}`
1- Is there any way to do this in .NET 6?
2- I want to get metadata for type given at runtime without using DI just like its being done in .NET code given below.
`ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, typeof(TEntity))`
Please provide your response on this.
Thanks,
Sohaib
