Initial stats behavior for new user on EOS

Hello,

So I’m working on an interface for stats using EOS and I came across a peculiar behavior. So I just wanted to confirm that it is indeed intended.

In game, I first check if the stat that I wanna query/ingest exists. The result comes out to be no stats for new users, even though they’re created on the epic dev portal. For new users, I have to first call ingest and setup default values and then query. If I don’t do that first, it shows that the user has zero stats.

So just wanted to confirm if this is indeed how it’s meant to be done for new users.

Thanks
