[TYPO3] Inherit abstract field from parent/grandparent/etc

10 = TEXT
10.data = levelfield:-1, abstract, slide

-1 takes it from the current page.
slide walks back down the rootline until it reaches the root or finds
something in one of the abstract fields.
You should make sure that abstract is in the list of rootline fields though.
Use the install tool to check/change that.
