I have a column on a grid that is a boolean value. The user has three filter choices; True, False or Show All (i.e. no filter). Because the column is boolean

    filter({ field: "fieldName", operator: "startswith",value: "" })

raises an exception. The boolean column won't accept a string in the filter on the server (uses Ajax).

How can the filter for the column be 'reset' (there may be other columns filtered, so any other filters are still needed)?

Hello Kevin,

In order to set the filter of the DataSource so all Boolean Items are selected, use dataSource.Filter.  Then set the filter.logic property to "or", and include the boolean's true and false values inside filter.filters.
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  dataSource: {
    ...
    filter:{
      logic: "or",
      filters: [
        { field: "Discontinued", operator: "eq", value: true },
        { field: "Discontinued", operator: "eq", value: false }
      ]
    },
    ...
  },
...
});

Please take a look at this Kendo UI Dojo by Progress which illustrates the above approach.  

I hope this helps!

Regards,
