Trigger expression for "and not" not correspond expected behavior

      Hello.

      Our expectation that trigger expression with "and not" for these two cases will provide us the same result:

      1) and not dayofweek()=6 and not dayofweek()=7

      2) and not (dayofweek()=6 and dayofweek()=7)

      First expression not work. Second work correctly.

      There is no documentation for this case.

      Only https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/triggers/expression

      with explanation:

      "notand and or operators are case-sensitive and must be in lowercase. They also must be surrounded by spaces or parentheses."

      Looks like parentheses is mandatory. Not "spaces or parentheses." -> "spaces and parentheses".

      This mistake caused incident unfortunately. Please see attachment for example.
