Duplicate fields in af:query search

Question

Hi Experts,
I am using af:query, in order to search record from database.
For example,Consider I am having three fields to search in basic(Employee Id, Employee Name,Gender ).
In the advanced mode, if i add another field 'Salary', it will be added. If I hit to add 'Salary' again, it added below the 'Salary' again.
Simply, it allows me to add a single filed multiple times again and again. How can I restirct this.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5.0
-Thanks

The af:query is based on a View Criteria from a PVO, so i wrote the following code to set the value for the criteria items in the View criteria.
I wrote it in view object's getter in the AMImpl.java
public ResourcePickerVOImpl getResourcePicker(){
ResourcePickerVOImpl vo = findViewObject("ResourcesPicker");
ViewCriteria vc = (ViewCriteria)vo.getViewCriteria("ResourcePickerSearch");
ViewCriteriaManager vm = vc.getViewCriteriaManager();
Row rows[] = vc.getAllRowsInRange();
for(Row row : rows){
List<ViewCriteriaItem> cit = ((ViewCriteriaRow)row).getCriteriaItems();
Iterator<ViewCriteriaItem> itr = cit.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
ViewCriteriaItem vtr = itr.next();
vtr.setValue("Mathew");
System.out.println("Column name: " + vtr.getColumnName() + " Value: " + vtr.getValue());
I changed the contextDelivery = immediate and childrenCreation = immediate since the popup was always showing empty search fields.
After changing this property i am seeing a new issue -> First time when i open the popup nothing is shown in the search fields. Then from the subsequent times it is showing the values defaulted through the above code.
Any idea!
