Could no add this? keep the original meta i set ?

Hello,

If you are using Toolset Types plugin to create the custom field, Types plugin will per-pend slug "wpcf-" before your field slug, for example, you have setup the field slug as "_wc_cost_price", then in your database table "wp_postmeta", the column "meta_key" value is "wpcf-_wc_cost_price" .

I assume the custom field "_wc_cost_price" is created by other plugins, you can follow our document to convert it under Types control:
https://toolset.com/faq/how-do-i-convert-existing-custom-types-and-fields-to-types-control/
section "Converting custom fields":
Go to Toolset->Post Fields and click the Control Post Fields button. On the Post Field Control page, find the fields you are interested in...

But in your case the field slug is "_wc_cost_price", it is start with "_", so it is a hidden post field, it can not be controlled by Types plugin, so there is no option available to control that fields using Types.
