Endnote does not retain the DistillerSR RefID

When importing a DistillerSR RIS file back into Endnote, Endnote does not use the DistillerSR RefID. The Endnote ID field is a proprietary field and does not allow you to specify the ID number from your import file. This is an Endnote limitation and cannot be modified or altered by the DistillerSR input. 

For a workaround to maintain the DistillerSR RefID in Endnote, see this article.
