Update an expense using a custom field's unique value

A custom field will have unique values if it's configured to not accept duplicate values. Now, you can use that custom field's value to update a expense by providing its API name in the X-Unique-Identifier-Key header and its value in the X-Unique-Identifier-Value header. Based on this value, the corresponding bill expense be retrieved and updated. Additionally, there is an optional X-Upsert header. If the X-Upsert header is true and the custom field's unique value is not found in any of the existing expenses, a new expense will be created if the necessary payload details are available
