UseDQLQuery autoFetch set to false still runs query on react component load. Why?

I build the fetch bizEvents DQL in the method getPipelineSummary(), but I don’t want it to trigger until I call refetch().

```javascript
useEffect(() => {
    setDetails(details);
    refetch();
  }, []);

const { data, isLoading, refetch } = useDqlQuery(
    {
      body: { query: dbQueries.getPipelineSummary() },
    },
    { autoFetch: false, autoFetchOnUpdate: false },
  );

```

Hi there

When the component loads, it calls the `useEffect` hook. In this hook, you’re calling refetch. If you dont’ want the query to run when component loads, just remove that execution of refetch as following:

```javascript
useEffect(() => {
    setDetails(details);
  }, []);

const { data, isLoading, refetch } = useDqlQuery(
    {
      body: { query: dbQueries.getPipelineSummary() },
    },
    { autoFetch: false, autoFetchOnUpdate: false },
  );

```

I removed refetch from being called anywhere in my component, but it’s still being called when the component loads:
