Fix version in JIRA

As just mentioned in another thread here, I seem to encounter what I
think is a problem in how we're using JIRA every time I do a release.
A lot of times, there are issues that have a "fix version ==
$releaseIAmBuilding", even though they are still open / unresolved.  I
thought that we didn't set a fix version until closing a ticket as
fixed.  Is that correct or am I mistaken?  If it is correct, do we
have any JIRA way of setting some rule to that effect?

Can we:

1 - add a field "target fix version" for the scenarios you describe above

and

2 - change it so that only JIRA project admins can assign either field
"target fix version" and "fix version"

I've never used JIRA much on the admin side, so I am not sure what can
be done, but those seem like standard requirements.

FYI, I've just tried to modify Fix version as a "random user", and I 
couldn't do it. I neither could set it during ticket-creation.

there are some that are assigned for 1.6 because we are not fixing
them in 1.5. lets not touch those. we need to be able to assign to
future versions. i think we can keep things assigned to 1.5.0 for
things that need to be fixed before the final comes out and reassign
them to milestones as we are fixing them. ie we need to be able to
communicate:

this issue cannot be fixed in the next minor release - maybe because
it breaks api
this issue cannot be fixed in the next major release - maybe its
outside of scope
this issue is scheduled post next major release - starting to create the roadmap


so i dont think fix versions are bad, what is bad is that people other
then developers can assign them.

The consensus was to remove the "fix for" property for all tickets but the
ones that need to be really fixed in that version (security, critical).
