Editing ephemeral messages in discord jda

I am sending an ephemeral message with an EntitySelectMenu. When the user selects the items in this menu, I need to change the content of the ephemeral message to some text like "abc". I tried doing it like this:

In EntitySelectInterection

event.deferEdit().queue(); // defer editing to make sure menu is disabled
event.getHook().retrieveOriginal().queue(message -> { // get original message
    String content = "abc";
    message.editMessage(content).queue(); // update message content
});

But this edits the text of the message to which the ephemeral is attached, but not the ephemeral itself. Would be grateful for any help.

You have to edit messages using getHook(). For instance:

event.deferEdit().queue();
event.getHook().editOriginal("abc").queue();

Using the message instead, will use a bot endpoint rather than an interaction endpoint.
