I found several other bugs in this same area that all need to be addressed. Note that all this Form 8938 info relates to Canada as the foreign asset country.

Bug 1: Add an 'Additional foreign financial account or Other foreign Asset' page. Select to add 'both a foreign account and an other financial asset on this page'. Enter all info for both assets and save. When you return you will see your additional pages (copy 1,2,etc). Select the extra page (ie copy 1) you entered and click edit. The first screen appears asking if you want to 'enter a foreign financial account or an other foreign financial asset on this page'.

* Bug * It automatically defaults to the top choice 'I need to enter a Foreign Financial Account' and forgets that I have BOTH a foreign account and an other financial asset.

Now, if you simply click next and by accident left it on the default top selection and go to the next screen it will erase and lose the 'other financial asset info'. For example, on the first screen simply click next with it defaulted at the top choice, even though we entered both a foreign financial account and an other financial asset. It moves to the next screen. Now go back (because I suddenly realize that I needed to select the BOTH options). Select the both option and go next.

*BUG * It is now too late and it has deleted the other foreign asset info.

Bug 2: This relates to the original bug I created at the start of this thread but it goes further. Add an 'Additional foreign financial account or Other foreign Asset' page. Select to add 'both a foreign account and an other financial asset on this page'. Enter all info for both assets. For this bug my foreign asset is a deposit account and I have a foreign institutional address. Put in values in the state/province and postal code. Continue and select options for more info and continue.  For the other foreign asset I have 'no' selected for if this asset relates to interest in foreign entity/stock. Fill out the other info at the top. For the Foreign Entity information selection at the bottom I have the options 'corporation', 'issuer', 'foreign person' and 'foreign address' selected. Put in different values in the state/province and postal code.  Continue and select options for more info and continue. When you return you will see your additional pages (copy 1,2,etc). Select the extra copy page (ie copy 1) that you just added and click edit. Select option 3 saying you need to 'enter both a foreign financial account or an other foreign financial asset on this page'. Click next.

* Bug* - you will see that the postal code and province that was entered on the foreign financial account has been over-written by the postal code and province that was entered on the other financial asset page. 

* This bug is different to the original bug given that the other foreign asset postal and province still remain however in this case the province/postal for the first foreign asset values always get overwritten by the postal/province values in the other foreign asset.

Bug 3: I have selected to enter income for 1099-OID, Foreign Accounts.  On the screen that appears 'Miscellaneous investment income' select the 3 middle options - 'Owned or signed on a foreign bank, broker', 'Received a distribution from a foreign trust', 'Were the grantor of or transferor to a foreign trust'. Click next and fill out other info. 

* BUG * Whenever I return to edit my 1099-OID/foreign accounts, the option selected on the 'Miscellaneous investment income' page for 'Were the grantor of or transferor to a foreign trust' gets forgotten and I always need to reselect that option.
