Workaround This is working as expected. It is platform behavior to automatically apply template to newly created incidents if a template with the same name as table name exists. Since, in 'Copy Incident' we require an unsubmitted form, the template will get applied instead of fields from the parent record.

Make sure that the template does not have the same name as the table name to prevent this issue.
