Here is the minimal but complete samples of XML input, wanted output, code I have and the wrong result I get.
Here is my input XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<R>
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">1</p>
</B>
</M>
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">2</p>
</B>
</M>
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">3</p>
</B>
</M>
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">4</p>
</B>
</M>
</R>
Here is my current XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<R>
<M>
<xsl:apply-templates select="M[1]/H | M/B" />
</M>
</R>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is my current output
If you look at the output, Ccy="GBP" is missing in the output. Please look at the expected output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<R xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p>1</p>
</B>
<B>
<p>2</p>
</B>
<B>
<p>3</p>
</B>
<B>
<p>4</p>
</B>
</M>
</R>
Expected output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<R xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">
<M>
<H>1</H>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">1</p>
</B>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">2</p>
</B>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">3</p>
</B>
<B>
<p Ccy="GBP">4</p>
</B>
</M>
</R>

If you want to copy all attributes simply extend the apply-templates to process them and set up a template that copies them:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<R>
<M>
<xsl:apply-templates select="M[1]/H | M/B" />
</M>
</R>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
