You need to refer to a field in another tiddler, not the same tiddler that
you're in.
If you really want to edit the current tiddler, then put the edit widget in
some other tiddler and then transclude it like:
{{||MyEditorTiddler}}
This is explained somewhat briefly here
(https://tiddlywiki.com/#EditTextWidget) :
In short the EditTextWidget <https://tiddlywiki.com/#EditTextWidget> *can
> not* change properties of the tiddler it is embedded in or part of. It
> can only change fields of *other* tiddlers. One could use ShadowTiddlers
> <https://tiddlywiki.com/#ShadowTiddlers> to accomplish the field storage
