Logic Apps EDIFACT connector update to support padding interchange qualifier

We are rolling out a small update to the Azure Logic Apps EDIFACT connector. With this update comes a new envelope setting 'BusinessIdentityQualifierPaddingType', an enumeration defining if and what padding needs to be performed on the interchange qualifier. This is defined as follows:

     /// <summary>
    /// The enum is defined to indicate number of zeroes to be used for padding business identity qualifier in EDIFACT interchange. 
    /// </summary>
    public enum BusinessIdentityQualifierPaddingType 
    { 
        /// <summary> 
        /// The BusinessIdentityQualifierPadding type is no padding. 
        /// </summary>
        None = 0,
 
        /// <summary> 
        /// The BusinessIdentityQualifierPadding type is one zero padding. 
        /// </summary> 
        One = 1,
 
        /// <summary> 
        /// The BusinessIdentityQualifierPadding type is two zeroes padding. 
        /// </summary> 
        Two = 2,
 
        /// <summary> 
        /// The BusinessIdentityQualifierPadding type is three zeroes padding. 
        /// </summary> 
        Three = 3, 
    }

We have rolled out earlier the support for decoding EDIFACT interchange with padded qualifiers. Please note that the qualifiers are trimmed when promoted to named properties while they remain as-is in both segment properties and generated acknowledgement (so your partner get the same as it sent). Here is a sample decode output extract for this:
