The edit widget is polymorphic; it will generate the appropriate editor
element for a tiddler according to its type (currently bitmap vs. text). It
does this by generating either an edit-text or edit-bitmap widget according
to the tiddler type.

So, the edit widget is a shortcut that you use if you don't know the type
of the tiddler for which you want to display an editor.

You need to close the edit widget:

<$edit field="work_id" type="number"/>

If you don't, then everything after the first widget tag is treated as
being inside that element; the edit widget doesn't display it's content, so
you don't see anything beyond the first widget.
