Hi Daniel
Thanks, that fixed it.
I see, it is not really recommended to blindly update knot as you can
easily break your zones and sometimes also have to do manual work before
updating.
I heard also from other people that updating broke some of their stuff,
so maybe that's something to keep an eye on for you guys ;) . However,
great work with the part that works fine!
Best regards and thank you for your help

Simon,
We have extended the migration section in the documentation
https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/2.8/html/migration.html#upgrade-2-7-x-to-2-8-x
Probably, it's your case.
