I want to add a field that marks bugs w/ a regression flag so that

exclude the tests or, worse, comment them out in the code.
Thoughts?
Derby recently grappled with this issue and the decision was made to
add a new component, "Regression Test Failure," that would allow us
to search for that component to see which tests are currently failing
or fail intermittently on different platforms.
Because it is possible to mark a bug as belonging to more than one
component, and components are configurable per-project, this has
worked out rather well and is not intrusive to other projects or
require any significant change to JIRA as a whole.
This link should take you to the list of Derby's current test issues:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?
reset=true&mode=hide&pid=10594&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/
field=priority&resolution=-1&component=12310664
Would that approach work for you as well?
cheers,
