I want to have a dynamic flow screen component where I can define what input it wants during the flow such as Text, Number, Date, DateTime etc. is this possible?

None of the out-of-the-box Flow Screen Input components will do this as described.
As of today, I think you have two general options:
Place one of each type of input on the screen, using conditional visibility rules to display just the one you want.
Build/Develop a custom Flow Screen component that more-or-less exposes the
lightning:inputcomponent to Flow Screens, passing configuration values that determine the data type.

1Looks like I'll have to go down the lightning input route as the main issue is I want to have 5 fields per page so 5*types of data fields required would just be a mess to make.KarlLivesey– KarlLivesey2021-03-25 17:25:00 +00:00Commented Mar 25, 2021 at 17:25
You should consider the Lightning Input component from UnofficialSF.com, which has a number of input formats: https://unofficialsf.com/lightninginput/
