Loki Target instant option not applied

[OscarVanL]

What you expected to happen?

In my Grafanalib code I set instant=True for my Loki Target, however in the generated dashboard the query is set to Range.

What happened?

The instant arg assigns the instant JSON value, but toggling between Instant and Range in the Grafana GUI changes between "queryType": "instant" and "queryType": "range"

e.g.

  "targets": [
    {
      "datasource": {
        "type": "loki",
        "uid": "${LokiDataSource}"
      },
      "expr": "foo",
      "format": "time_series",
      "hide": false,
      "instant": true,
      "interval": "",
      "intervalFactor": 2,
      "legendFormat": "",
      "metric": "",
      "query": "foo",
      "refId": "A",
      "step": 10,
      "target": "",
      "editorMode": "code",
      "queryType": "range"
    }
  ],

How to reproduce it?

Create a Loki query and change queryType.

My setup: Grafana v9.2.3
