/**
* Insert the Bill's Date as the Bill Number, since we usually don't care what the Bill Number is but Zoho Books needs it, yet when a bill is created via recurring profile, it doesn't generate one.
*
* If it's already set, it won't be modified.
* Example result if Bill Date is December 10, 2019 (DueDate is disregarded): "Auto: 2019-12-10"
*
* Created 2019-12-10. Confirmed still working 2020-04-30.
* Will NOT work on VOID bills.
* WARNING: The user that CREATES the custom button is the only user that can EDIT the custom button.
