How to update wordpress post without overwriting content

Hi everyone

I want to change some specific values in all of my texts, but at the same time I do not want to overwrite current content.

Sorry for not being 100% clear on what I’m trying to achieve. I used Make to add a lot of blog posts to my website. When the posts were in the backend, I discovered a flaw in my flow, meaning that I accidentally added the wrong rows to the wrong custom fields.

WordPress - Search Posts (to get the posts)
Google Sheets - Search Rows (to get the new rows)
WordPress - Update a Post.

Is there a better/smarter way to update posts in WordPress? I tried following this method:
