Answer 1

I would like to add another example to add to @Nathan's example, as I found it somewhat confusing.

Mine uses real tables for the most part, and not temp tables.

I also got my inspiration from here: another example

-- Copy the FormSectionInstance
DECLARE @FormSectionInstanceTable TABLE(OldFormSectionInstanceId INT, NewFormSectionInstanceId INT)

;MERGE INTO [dbo].[FormSectionInstance]
USING
(
    SELECT
        fsi.FormSectionInstanceId [OldFormSectionInstanceId]
        , @NewFormHeaderId [NewFormHeaderId]
        , fsi.FormSectionId
        , fsi.IsClone
        , @UserId [NewCreatedByUserId]
        , GETDATE() NewCreatedDate
        , @UserId [NewUpdatedByUserId]
        , GETDATE() NewUpdatedDate
    FROM [dbo].[FormSectionInstance] fsi
    WHERE fsi.[FormHeaderId] = @FormHeaderId 
) tblSource ON 1=0 -- use always false condition
WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT
( [FormHeaderId], FormSectionId, IsClone, CreatedByUserId, CreatedDate, UpdatedByUserId, UpdatedDate)
VALUES( [NewFormHeaderId], FormSectionId, IsClone, NewCreatedByUserId, NewCreatedDate, NewUpdatedByUserId, NewUpdatedDate)

OUTPUT tblSource.[OldFormSectionInstanceId], INSERTED.FormSectionInstanceId
INTO @FormSectionInstanceTable(OldFormSectionInstanceId, NewFormSectionInstanceId);


-- Copy the FormDetail
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FormDetail]
    (FormHeaderId, FormFieldId, FormSectionInstanceId, IsOther, Value, CreatedByUserId, CreatedDate, UpdatedByUserId, UpdatedDate)
SELECT
    @NewFormHeaderId, FormFieldId, fsit.NewFormSectionInstanceId, IsOther, Value, @UserId, CreatedDate, @UserId, UpdatedDate
FROM [dbo].[FormDetail] fd
INNER JOIN @FormSectionInstanceTable fsit ON fsit.OldFormSectionInstanceId = fd.FormSectionInstanceId
WHERE [FormHeaderId] = @FormHeaderId
