How to correctly insert and justify abstract paragraph on my bibliography?

Question

I am trying to add abstracts to my bibliography, I found these questions for help:

But after trying, I noticed the paragraph is not indented or justified then I recurred to the questions:

However, after building it on my code, I got an extra dot appended at the end of each bibliography and the text still not justifying.

The bibliography entry should certainly NOT to be justified because it will certainly throw badboxes warnings, however, the abstract paragraph will certainly not, then they can be fully justified.

This is the minimal code which I build based on these others questions. It should be justifying the abstract and not producing and extra dot between bibliographies entries. Is it fixable?

It is correct, but how to make the only the abstract field be justified inside the bibliograpy? Should How can one set full justification within left-justified (\raggedright) text? help? — user, Oct 29 '17 at 19:15

A quick solution is

\DeclareFieldFormat{abstract}{%
  \par\justifying
  \begin{adjustwidth}{1cm}{}
    \textbf{\bibsentence\bibstring{abstract}:} #1
  \end{adjustwidth}}

\renewbibmacro*{finentry}{%
  \iffieldundef{abstract}
    {\finentry}
    {\finentrypunct
     \printfield{abstract}%
     \renewcommand*{\finentrypunct}{}%
     \finentry}}

For the punctuation, couldn't one just add \setunit before \finentry instead of redefining \finentrypunct? – Alan Munn Oct 29 '17 at 19:23
@AlanMunn Do you mean an empty \setunit? \finentry sets \finentrypunct not via \setunit, but directly, so I'm not sure if that works. – moewe Oct 29 '17 at 19:26
It does work. :) Whether by accident or not, I'm not sure, which is why I asked. – Alan Munn Oct 29 '17 at 19:30
@AlanMunn Huh? It does not for me. At least when I simply took the original MWE and added \setunit{} before \finentry the unwanted full stop is still there. A few other things I tried didn't work either. What did you try? – moewe Oct 29 '17 at 19:36
I used \setunit\finentry No {}. – Alan Munn Oct 29 '17 at 19:38
@AlanMunn Ah, that explains it, I suppose. \setunit takes an argument and the \finentry is eaten and never executed, so the \finentrypunct is not printed. – moewe Oct 29 '17 at 19:40
I am here just warning about a problem I caused on this code by adding a \vspace*{-0.5mm} before \par\justifying. Adding \vspace*{-0.5mm} caused this issue: How can I stop this useless empty line popping up in the middle of my lists?, except that here, it was happenig right before the Abstract: entry. – user Nov 11 '19 at 03:24

Only part of an answer. This deals with the justification of the abstract-field. For this I changed the definition inside \DeclareFieldFormat{abstract}.

@user the question you reference to doesn't seem to use any of the code here. What exactly is failing where? Sorry, but I don't really understand what's going on. — Skillmon, Nov 11 '19 at 07:33
The problem with that question is that a useless blank line is inserted when a line is completely filled/full at the end of an list item. That problem will also happen here if you add \vspace*{-0.5mm} just before \justify and the line before the Abstract: entry is completely filled. — user, Nov 11 '19 at 22:01
Skillmon, that is exactly what I am saying here. Do not add \vspace*{-0.5mm} or it will break. I am just warning anyone else who can take this answer. — user, Nov 12 '19 at 17:28
@user I don't see why you would want to add that in the first place, but ok... — Skillmon, Nov 12 '19 at 18:47
Skilmon, I had added \vspace*{-0.5mm} because I would like to shorten the space between the Abstract: and the text before it. — user, Nov 12 '19 at 18:51
