I don't use subflows so this is mostly guesswork.

You can use a ui-control node to hide or reveal groups [Disable a dropdown node on the basis of a switch node result - #11 by E1cid](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/disable-a-dropdown-node-on-the-basis-of-a-switch-node-result/60882/11)

So maybe you could have several groups, each with the same set of text fields.  
The subflow could populate the fields in your chosen group and reveal it, hiding the others.
