Report painter question

Hi

In our old reports , when I double click the column (GRR2), I see a pop up for selecting the characteristics’ see some characteristics attached to the column. The mystery to me is there "Record Type" char is selected twice and have different values. While I make new column, I am unable to select the record type char twice . I don't see the copy function either in that pop up. Can some one help me how to select record type twice ? Or have you seen selecting any char twice and give different values to it.Thanks
