Should I use find replace? Want to modify a line of data

For example, as shown below, I want to modify a line item for entry (ID) 3 and add a line item to it. Right now what I did is that I use select record to select the line of ID 3, use formula to modify it to the result I want and try to use Find Replace to replace the original line 3 to my new line 3. However, it doesn't seem to be working. I tried the "append field to record" setting in Find Replace and it can locate ID 3 and append Line 3 to it. However, when I select "Replace Found Text with Value", line 2 is not replaced to the new value I wanted. Is this the right way? How should I do it?
