ADO.NET Entity Data Model - MVC - managing one-to-many relations

Question

Let's say that I have following situation.

I have many customers and many consultans, and each customer has attached only one consultant. So it's one-to-many relationship.

I created Edit view which display customer_name and customer_consultant_id how should I update information after post? Just UpdateModel does not work, so something more is needed. Any ideas?
