Copy Record is entirely broken with New Forms. The workaround is to create a URL button to direct to an "interstitial" old form, direct the user to save the record when they will then be redirected to the new form.
The problem (or bug) seems to be that field values are not copied unless the field is present and editable on the interstitial copy form regardless of the setting present in the field's properties. So then a workaround for this condition becomes necessary which is to create (or use the existing) old form containing all of the fields you want copied and set them to editable in order to create a record that can be used by the New Form. It's workarounds all the way down.
Sure would like to know where the proper fix for Copy Record is on the roadmap. This seems like an easy problem to solve which is simply too low on the priority list.
