 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to Monitoriing -> Maps, create a map and add map element;
  2. In Map element configuration dialog add 2 filtering tags:
    1. "Service" + "Contains" + "Zabbix"
    2. "Service" + "Does not equal" + "Zabbix"
  3. Confirm changes and Update map.

Result:
Error with following message appears:

Map update failed.
error: Invalid parameter "/1/selements/1/tags/2": value (tag, value)=(Service, Zabbix) already exists.

Expected:
Uniqueness check should fail only when all 3 properties (tag, operator, value) matches.

In the map elements conditions with same tags will be evaluated using OR operator. Therefore, it makes no sense to add such filtering conditions.
