I've wondered what is actually done when one selects Erase Item, and then "Remove from this Grid Only"
 
Presumably what it means is, if the grid has a simple source, like "ThisField (= Yes)", then "Remove from this Grid" would simply remove that assignment from the field ThisField.
 
I don't know what would happen if the Grid Source were more complex, involving multiple fields.
 
I have a grid "Journal2015" with the Y/N field "Journal2015" as the grid source.  As I suspected, "Remove from this Grid" removes the assignment of the item from the field "Journal2015", leaving other fields and their values intact.
 
Oddly enough though - after doing this, I did a Ctrl+F Live Search to find the item I had just de-assigned from the Journal2015 field.  It showed up in the Live Search grid, but the "Shown In" column still listed "Journal2015" as a "Shown In" grid.  This is a bit strange considering that I had prevously "removed from this grid".  Right?

Hi Jim,
 
As has been reported in the past, the Live-Search "shown-in" column is sometimes a bit dirty, since IQ has yet to update the item list. Use Grid > Save to ensure the item list is updated
 
I've nevertheless improved it for this specific case in v107: When using "Remove from this Grid", the item list is immediately updated.
