    If you are trying to hide the comments field from list form based on single selection choice column values, you can use the conditional formula in this format: 

     

    =if([$ChoiceColumnInternalName]=='Unknown', 'true', 'false')

     

    Where [$ChoiceColumnInternalName] is an internal name of your column in SharePoint list in this format: [$InternalNameOfColumn]. You can get the internal name of your SharePoint list columns by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?

     

    You have to use only once before column name in the conditional formula.
