Update the formula json file by deploying modified formulas

Well, yes, in theory you could vibe code a php application that could create a formula.json file
In your host or using API if you develop a custom API action.

just a raw idea from a not experienced user with quite low programming skills: wouldn`t it be possible to create kind of a form, which would keep fields the individual formula and append it to the formula.json on submitting? Of course an extra script within the app, only accessible by the admin.

There's no such an ability.

It's possible to use a Common before-save hook that will run a formula script. The formula script can be stored in some file. It would be a non-UI feature though.

What about developing a custom formula function that returns the site url or the app name and add the formulas in a code block?

myFormula = ifThen(
    ext\siteUrl() == 'mycrm.com',
    datetime\today()
); 

I know this does not fully solve your issue but it's a no brainer workaround.

Else you would have to add the formulas to an extension and instead of synchronizing you could install the extension.

Sorry I do not have any better idea

Hello, I try to achieve the following. I have an app, that is used by different users (the app itself, not inside the app). Every of my clients, who uses the app, may have slightly different formulas.
I develop the app and the updates on a developer version of the app and on update I synchronize the custom files and folders to the client`s apps..
As every user has a different set of formulas, I cannot synchronize the formula folder, as this would destroy the individual configuration of every user.
Is there a possibillity to only deploy the common formulas, which are equal in all installations and protect the individual formulas?

Like: I set all new and common formulas on my side and the formula.json file of the specified entity will be updated.
