Use [`system.tag.browse`](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-tag/system-tag-browse) to get all the tag paths from the folder, and pass each tag path as a parameter per instance in the flex repeater.

Build your embedded view (the one that the flex repeater will use) to accept a tag path as a parameter and use that to indirectly bind to the tag.

The `instances` property of the flex repeater expects a list of dictionaries.  
`dictList = [{x: 1, Y: index} for index in xrange(10)]` is the basic list comprehension for making a list of dictionaries.

Edit: Found this post which is accomplishing a similar task of looking through a folder of tags and adding instances to a flex repeater. Should help to point you in the right direction:

My tag structure is set up as PLC Tags/Pumps/ and then inside Pumps is a UDT instance for each pump, called 1 through 6, and then another called Master. Inside the Pump UDT is a "Visibility" boolean element that reads a bit in the PLC. This bit designates if the pump is actually present or not. I have a template…
