<xsl:apply-templates/> selects all the children. If you only need 
one particular element, it's easier to select it in apply-templates:

<xsl:apply-templates select="xdm:field[@name='CSBFT242']"/>

and then the matching template will only be called for that element.

<xsl:template match="xdm:fields">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="xdm:field[@name='CSBFT242']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xdm:field">
   ... process that one field ...
</xsl:template>
