The Run Code then return the updated data, and i would like to insert this new data in the JSON metafield.

I was trying to have a loop over its keys and automate the output, but does not seems to be possible loop object keys in Liquid.

Due to the limitation of:

Serialize your JSON to a string in Run code using something like JSON.stringify(your_variable). Then simply output the string in the update metafield action {{your_outputted_variable}}.
