The following function will allow you to copy the values from a child table and paste them into another.

frappe.ui.form.on("[TARGETDOCTYPE]", {
    "[TRIGGER]": function(frm) {
        frappe.model.with_doc("[SOURCEDOCTYPE]", frm.doc.[TRIGGER], function() {
            var tabletransfer= frappe.model.get_doc("[SOURCEDOCTYPE]", frm.doc.[TRIGGER])
            $.each(tabletransfer.[SOURCECHILDTABLE], function(index, row){
                var d = frm.add_child("[TARGETCHILDTABLE]");
                d.[TARGETFIELD1] = row.[SOURCEFIELD1];
                d.[TARGETFIELD2] = row.[SOURCEFIELD2];
                frm.refresh_field("[TARGETCHILDTABLE]");
            });
        });
    }
});
