(the entire code create something like this)

function my_load_cat($value, $post_id, $field){
    
$args = array( 'parent' => 779 );
$post_categories = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category', array("fields" => "ids") );

if ( !empty( $post_categories ) ) {
  $args['exclude'] = $post_categories;
};
$categories = get_categories( $args );

foreach (  $categories as $category ) {   
      $value[]=array(
        'field_5cd186302ef1c' => $category->name
      );
  };
  return $value;
};

}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=villes_a_ajouter_III', 'my_load_cat', 10, 3);

So i tried to add your answer to my function, and this is creating me something like

function my_load_cat($value, $post_id, $field){
    
$args = array( 'parent' => 779 );
$post_categories = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category', array("fields" => "ids") );

if ( !empty( $post_categories ) ) {
  $args['exclude'] = $post_categories;
};
$categories = get_categories( $args );

  if (!empty($value)) {
    // this repeater already has a value do not change it
    return $value
  }
  else{
    foreach (  $categories as $category ) {   
      $value= array(
        array(
        'field_5cd186302ef1c' => $category->name
        )
      );
  };
  return $value;
};

}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=villes_a_ajouter_III', 'my_load_cat', 20, 3);

But not working, any idea to help me ? Thanks for your answer john !
