nope, you got me wrong. I am not talking about changing the DS over the 
page tree. I only referred to the assignment of templates to pages as an 
example for way I propose to define field sliding properties.
But let me try again:

Imagine just one template with one DS and one TO is used over all pages 
of the whole page tree. And then imagine your DS defines a field for a 
background image (field_bgimg) to be used in the page.
And you have one page - lets say the root page - that uses image A and 
ALL subpages use image B (which is a rather common situation).

Now:
If you use a simple slide definition (like kb_tv_cont_slide currently 
does) you have to set field_bgimg in the root page to image A and in ALL 
firstlevel (!) subpages to image B. All deeper level subpages inherit B 
by sliding (so it is not necessary to set field_bgimg in deeper pages).
With my proposal you could simply define A and B in the rootpage: A as 
the field value for the current page, B as the field value to slide down 
through all child pages). That would be all.
This resembles the way templates are assigned to pages (Page Template 
Structure / Subpages - Page Template Structure) - that is why I 
mentioned the DS as an example!

My proposal also eliminates the need to train editors that they have to 
choose a background image when they add new firstlevel subpages. I can 
all be done in the parent page.

Cheers, Jörg.
