 Hi,
 
I'd appreciate your help.
In the same grid I created an item child of multiple parents, following this thread: "Multiple parents - ways to assign" (https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=node/4063).
I couldn't find out how to reverse the process.
I mean, how to remove the item from certain parents without creating duplicates, leaving it as child of a unique parent again? 
 
Thank you,
Carlos

There are mutliple ways to do this.  All of these will remove a child under a parent without affecting other occurrences of the same item.
 
Method #1
1) Select the subitem you want to remove
2) Ctrl-E>Remove from this parent only
 
Method #2
1) Move subitem out from underneath the parent (select>ctrl left arrow)
2) When the item no longer has a parent, uncheck its field assignment to the grid.
3) Refresh view.  Item will be removed from the grid.
 
Method #3
1) Move subitem you want removed from parent #1 to parent #2 that has the same subitem you want to keep.
2) The two subitems will merge into one, removing the first occurrence and keeping the second.
 
There are other ways.  #1 is simplest but sometimes makes me nervous about the item being deleted altogether so I often use #3, which is more convoluted.
 
Any time two occurrences of the same item end up on the same level in an outline, they wiil automatically merge into one.

Hi Wayne and Pierre,
 
Many thanks for the directions!
 
I could perform all methods, but this:

When I press Ctrl-E the "item editor" dialog pops-up and I couldn't identify there anything related to remove the parent.
Also I looked for a command with similar name in the "Customize>Commands" list, but nothing related as well.
 
Could you please provide further information about this method?
 
Ps. I searched the InfoQube "official" documentation and couldn't find so clear explanation as yours. Maybe I miss the point. Otherwise, I'd suggest to append this content in the documentation.
 
Cheers,
Carlos

Ctrl+e used be the delete-etc. shortcut. Is now Ctrl+d I think (not on pc now so cannot check).

I am not using the latest update so the shortcut may have changed
 
1) To find the current shortcut for "Delete Item":
 
Tools>Keyboard shortcuts>View all shortcuts [look for command "Delete Item"]
 
2) To change the shortcut for Delete Item:
 
Tools>Keyboard Shortcuts>Customize [follow customization steps]
 
3) To access Delete Item command without using shortcuts:
 
Select item>right-click>delete item>Remove from this parent only

 Hi Wayne,
 
Many thanks for the clarification.
I could perform the procedure.
The current delete shortcut is Ctrl+D.
I found that the easiest way to achieve the task.
 
Cheers,
Carlos
 

Hi Carlos,
 
To Wayne's excellent reply, I'd add this one:
  • In the Properties pane, Parents section, right-click on the parent and select Delete Parent Link

A bit late as a reply, but FYI, the Properties pane has a command to do just that:
  • Right-click on a parent and select Delete All Other Parent Links
