Stedi Core increases size limits for EDI transactions
Previously, the limit was 90mb with a guide and 50mb with the default X12 spec.
Dimension | Previous limit | New limit |
---|---|---|
File size | 500 mb [^1] | 500 mb (unchanged) |
Largest transaction set within a file | ||
without a guide | 50 mb | 130 mb |
with a guide | 90 mb | 130 mb |
[^1] An EDI file can contain multiple interchanges, and each interchange can contain multiple transaction sets. The limit of what Core can process is generally dictated by the size of the largest EDI transaction set within the file, not by the file size itself.

Improvements to Guides and Mappings
We recently released the following Guides and Mappings improvements and fixes:
- You now receive a warning when you try to delete a guide that is connected to one or more mappings. The warning lists all of the connected mappings.
- The guide builder now includes tooltips when you hover over the colored icons next to each node in the sidebar. The tooltips tell you the segment or element type and whether or not it’s required.
- The mappings UI now pre-selects all target keys when you create a mapping externally from the API or guide builder. Previously, Mappings only pre-selected target keys when you created a mapping from within the Mappings UI.
- When you enter Allowed Values for elements, the guide builder displays a shortened versioned of long JSON keys so they don't overlap with the description.
- The guide builder now allows spaces in values. This update is important for values like organization names, which require spaces for readability.

Omit any field in Mappings based on a condition
$omitField
for primitive fields (fields that map to strings, numbers, and booleans).$omitField
to exclude an entire object or an array based on a condition. Mappings now recognizes $omitField
within list context expressions. In addition, every object field has a new optional object context input with built-in support for $omitField
.

Auto-generate EDI Translate API calls from any Stedi guide
The sample API calls include valid test EDI or JSON data based on the guide's specifications. The guide builder auto-generates generic test data, but you can also get test data from an attached sample EDI file.

Add a description to validated samples in Stedi guides
Now, you can add a description to each sample that gives trading partners even more context about the intended use cases. The description appears at the top of the guide’s EDI Inspector.

Mappings UI Improvements
- When you connect a Stedi guide to the mapping’s source or target schema, the Guide tab links directly to the connected guide.
- The Schema and Example tabs are now read-only when a guide is connected. This prevents you and collaborators from manually editing the schema out of sync with the connected guide.
- You can use the View menu to show and hide the source and output columns as needed.

Quickly update mapping source and target schemas from connected Stedi guides
Each mapping has a source schema and a target schema, which you can define based on a Stedi guide or a sample JSON file.
Now, the mappings UI automatically detects changes in connected Stedi guides and lets you pull those changes into the schema. When you change the schema, the mappings UI alerts you when the updates affect existing expressions in the mapping.
