This isn't really a question about BibDesk, but about bibtex. You need to edit the bibtex style file, or get a modified style from somewhere. Adding the field can be done in various ways: in a case-by-case way using the item detail editor, or you can add it for all items of a specific type by editing the type information in the preferences. However, this won't add that field to the formatted item unless the style somehow uses it. But that's not something BibDesk is involved in.
