Set the field formula to what you wanted to use for the hide formula. In the hide formula for the paragraph(s) containing the status_1 and comments_1 fields, enter "hide_1" as the hide-when formula. Repeat as needed for _2, _3, etc. I'm afraid that there's no way they can change it. Would break backward compatibility in a big way for any app in which the field is not the only thing in the paragraph. Workaround: add a hidden computed field called hide_1.
