How can I add existing items to a matrix in netsuite?

I have several items in Netsuite that I want to group together but it seems like I can only add items to a matrix if they're new.

Once an item is created you cannot change its type and whether an item is a matrix item or not is part of its type. The only exception to this is where you can convert a non inventory item to inventory item.

However if the driver for this is how you display items on your website there are a number of ways to deal with this.

Both of these require some JavaScript skills

One is to create a site category and assign your "matrix" items to that. Then create an item list template for the category that makes it look like a buy page.

The other is to link the items under a new parent item ( can be natural parent field or custom item field) and use Ajax calls to a suitelet to load the child items and organize the page
