You can create a new Framework from an existing one, hide all its 
subfields, and then select one by one subfields you want to see in Data 
Entry form.

In Koha PRO interface, create a new Framework:

   1. Admin > MARC Frameworks.
   2. Button New Framework. Name it FOO (for example).
   3. Click on 'MARC Structure'. Then Choose to create framework for FOO
      using Default framework.

At this stage, you have a new Framework, which is Default framework 
duplicate.

In MySql command line interface, or phpMyAdmin, or whatever, enter this 
SQL statement against your Koha DB :

    UPDATE marc_subfield_structure
    SET tab='-1'
    WHERE frameworkcode='FOO';

At this stage, you FOO framework has all its fields hidden.

You have to go in FOO Framework definition, and for each subfields you 
want to see in Data Entry, modify Managed in tab attribute.
