Custom Widget: Item defined in property not shown

But when I look for example this widget:

He is using

- context: item
      description: the shutteritem
      label: Item
      name: itemShutter
      required: true
      type: TEXT
...

                    item: =props.itemShutter

And there it seems to work. So why it is not working for my case? I guess he is also accessing the item and not just the text
