I am getting extra space in subview as shown below

Flex repeater is shown as below with properties

So you have the flex repeater in a different view and you're embedding it ?

I would do that if you're not reusing it somewhere else,  
but if you do want to, check (and show us) the embedded view properties. I'm guessing it has a `useDefaultViewWidth` property that you need to uncheck.  
And I do mean on the embedded view, NOT on the repeater itself.

But it will also depend on the type of the container you put it in.

I added the property but it is not working as shown below:

This means the thing that shows the repeater on your first screenshot

Do you mean to uncheck here

So if I am unchecking it , it will have multiple instances as shown below:

No, look:

on this page, what I marked in red is, I assume, an embedded view that contains your flex repeater.  
Configure the property on THIS component.

But actually, you should probably be configuring that component's width property (I'm assuming it's in a coordinate container). Set it to `100%`.
