Absolutely baffled by trying to add pmid field to listrefs.layout. Any help appreciated!

[curtcorum]

Starting with the listrefs.layout file:

<tr id="\format{\bibtexkey}" class="entry">
    <td>\begin{author}\format[Authors(LastFirst,NoPunc,InitialsNoSpace),HTMLChars]{\author}\end{author} (\year), <i>"\format[HTMLChars]{\title}"</i>\begin{journal}, \format[HTMLChars]{\journal}.\end{journal}\begin{booktitle}, In \format[HTMLChars]{\booktitle}.\end{booktitle}\begin{howpublished}, \howpublished.\end{howpublished}\begin{school}. Thesis at: \format[HTMLChars]{\school}.\end{school}\begin{address} \format[HTMLChars]{\address}\end{address}\begin{month}, \format[HTMLChars]{\month}, \year.\end{month} \begin{volume} Vol. \volume\end{volume}\begin{number}(\format[FormatPagesForHTML]{\number})\end{number}\begin{pages}, pp. \format[FormatPagesForHTML]{\pages}.\end{pages}\begin{publisher} \format[HTMLChars]{\publisher}.\end{publisher}
    <p class="infolinks">\begin{abstract}[<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','abstract')">Abstract</a>]\end{abstract}\begin{review} [<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','review')">Review</a>] \end{review} [<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','bibtex')">BibTeX</a>]\begin{doi} [<a href="\format[DOICheck]{\doi}" target="_blank">DOI</a>]\end{doi}\begin{url} [<a href="\format{\url}" target="_blank">URL</a>]\end{url}\begin{file} [<a href="\format[WrapFileLinks(\r,,pdf)]{\file}" target="_blank">PDF</a>]\end{file}</p>
    </td>
</tr>\begin{abstract}
<tr id="abs_\format{\bibtexkey}" class="abstract noshow">
    <td><b>Abstract</b>: \format[HTMLChars]{\abstract}</td>
</tr>\end{abstract}\begin{review}
<tr id="rev_\format{\bibtexkey}" class="review noshow">
    <td><b>Review</b>: \format[HTMLChars]{\review}</td>
</tr>\end{review}
<tr id="bib_\format{\bibtexkey}" class="bibtex noshow">
<td><b>BibTeX</b>:
<pre>
@\format[ToLowerCase]{\bibtextype}{\bibtexkey,\begin{author}
  author = {\format[HTMLChars]{\author}}\end{author}\begin{editor},
  editor = {\format[HTMLChars]{\editor}}\end{editor}\begin{title},
  title = {\format[HTMLChars]{\title}}\end{title}\begin{booktitle},
  booktitle = {\format[HTMLChars]{\booktitle}}\end{booktitle}\begin{journal},
  journal = {\format[HTMLChars]{\journal}}\end{journal}\begin{publisher},

  year = {\format[HTMLChars]{\year}}\end{year}\begin{volume},
  volume = {\format[HTMLChars]{\volume}}\end{volume}\begin{number},
  number = {\format[HTMLChars]{\number}}\end{number}\begin{pages},
  pages = {\format[HTMLChars]{\pages}}\end{pages}\begin{edition},
  edition = {\format[HTMLChars]{\edition}}\end{edition}\begin{note},
  note = {\format[HTMLChars]{\note}}\end{note}\begin{url},
  url = {\format[HTMLChars]{\url}}\end{url}\begin{doi},
  doi = {\format[DOIStrip]{\doi}}\end{doi}
}
</pre></td>
</tr>

For export selection I get the wonderful output:

Unfortunately any attempt (with the exact same selection) to add or change a field, in this case adding \begin{pmid} pmid: \format[HTMLChars]{\pmid}\end{pmid} after publisher (scroll to end):

<tr id="\format{\bibtexkey}" class="entry">
    <td>\begin{author}\format[Authors(LastFirst,NoPunc,InitialsNoSpace),HTMLChars]{\author}\end{author} (\year), <i>"\format[HTMLChars]{\title}"</i>\begin{journal}, \format[HTMLChars]{\journal}.\end{journal}\begin{booktitle}, In \format[HTMLChars]{\booktitle}.\end{booktitle}\begin{howpublished}, \howpublished.\end{howpublished}\begin{school}.

    <p class="infolinks">\begin{abstract}[<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','abstract')">Abstract</a>]\end{abstract}\begin{review} [<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','review')">Review</a>] \end{review} [<a href="javascript:toggleInfo('\format{\bibtexkey}','bibtex')">BibTeX</a>]\begin{doi} [<a href="\format[DOICheck]{\doi}" target="_blank">DOI</a>]\end{doi}\begin{url} [<a href="\format{\url}" target="_blank">URL</a>]\end{url}\begin{file} [<a href="\format[WrapFileLinks(\r,,pdf)]{\file}" target="_blank">PDF</a>]\end{file}</p>

<tr id="rev_\format{\bibtexkey}" class="review noshow">

  url = {\format[HTMLChars]{\url}}\end{url}\begin{doi},
  doi = {\format[DOIStrip]{\doi}}\end{doi}
}
</pre></td>
</tr>

leads to:

With the bibtex field always open, the ordering wrong, etc.

I've looked at listrefs.layout and listrefsc.layout with meld, checking for non-printing characters, removed existing fields in the section so that the line is not longer, shortened any filenames and removed non alpha characters, and restarted jabref, removed one or the other .layouts from Custom Export Formats configuration with no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Here are the files.

Hi, you are just missing the listrefs.begin.layout and listrefs.end.layout files in your folder: https://docs.jabref.org/collaborative-work/export/customexports#layout-files They have to be name the same as the main layout file just with begin and end accordingly. They contain the rest of the html stuff

Thanks! @Siedlerchr
