Always show the option "Run this query on page load"

feature

It appears the option to "run this query on page load" is only visible when you've selected the "Manual" run behavior. However, a user might not find out about this option if it's hidden entirely.

A solution would be to make it appear disabled instead in case the "Automatic" run behavior is selected. Then, hovering over this option would show a tooltip labeled "This can only be selected if the run behavior is set to 'Manual'", or something along those lines.

I guess the reasoning behind hiding the option might relate to not overwhelming the user with options not relevant to their use case. However, given the context ("Advanced" tab), I would argue users are willing to deal with these options.

Hope this will help users discover the option. It certainly took me a while to find it and the following page didn't quite mention the condition either.

Hi @emozio, we created an internal feature request to always show this toggle, include a tooltip, and set the default to disabled for automatically ran queries.

Thanks for your feedback! :slightly_smiling_face:
