Style request: add abstract to Chicago 17 author-date style

I can't find a version of the Chicago 17th ed. author-year style (without ----- when authors' names are repeated) with the abstract included in the bibliography. Could some kind soul please create such a version? It seems simple enough, but my attempts have failed.

I would edit https://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-author-date-no-em-dash to add <text variable="abstract" display="block" prefix="ABSTRACT: "/> after line 701. Don't forget to change the ID (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#edit_the_style)
Probably a CSL guru will come with a better approach.

Thanks, I got the new line right but keep doing something wrong when changing the ID. I'll check the step-by-step page again.

OK, got it now, thanks again. It still needs a bit of refinement but the abstracts are now printing.
