You can do exactly that. You can add your own property
attribute such as "Include in Specification". And then
add custom properties that you can mark that to be true.
If I recall, all you have to do is add that column to the
table. The only limitation is that I don't think it could
be a boolean unless you were to modify the bizdesk code to
account for that field, or to hadle booleans in general.
You could, though, use as simple integer or varchar field,
and then have the value be 1 or 0, or "True" or "False".
Hope that helps.
