Playa & Matrix Importer

Reduce dependencies and enjoy improved performance by converting your Playa & Matrix fields into native Relationship & Grid fields.

*This module is designed to run on v2-7.

This is a module for importing existing Playa and Matrix fields into new Relationship and Grid fields. The import is non-destructive, meaning it doesn’t convert or change the existing fields or data in any way. It creates new fields and copies the data over to them, so you have a chance to inspect and check that the import has done its job before you commit to the new fields.

Each celltype native to Matrix has been mapped to a native EE near-equivalent. If the celltype is also Grid-compatible, the same celltype will be used. The importer also attempts to read the field settings for each Matrix column and normalize them to a format readable by ExpressionEngine’s native fieldtypes. Settings for third party fieldtypes are brought over without modification.
