We use queue processors to handle micro services. For the error handling we set the activity status to fail in order to make use of the ootb retry mechanisms. 

After x retries returning an error, the item is deferred to the broken queue items.

Sometimes you already know the first time an error occurs, it cannot be resolved by just retrying later. In this case, I would like to be able to just mark the item to be deferred without executing the retry mechanism as it would save time and processing energy. 

Is there an easy way to obtain it. E.g. by setting some property or parameter in the activity? 

Kind regards,
