It is not clear from the ticket, you should update the description to clarify that this is about the error message.

I don't see any issues with the error message, "the.id" is unresolved due to the fact that by default this is interpreted as struct field access, not a literal column name. Are you referring to the wrong suggestion in the error message?

 

I opened a PR to fix the suggestion list.

> AnalysisException [UNRESOLVED_COLUMN] shows the wrong suggestion when a field with the "." separator is referenced without backticks.
>  
> The following code references a nested value {{{}`the`.`id`{}}}, that does not exist. The proposed / existing column names are not correctly wrapped in backticks:
> {code:scala}
> Seq((0)).toDF("the.id")
>   .select("the.id").show()
> org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: [UNRESOLVED_COLUMN] A column or function parameter with name `the`.`id` cannot be resolved. Did you mean one of the following? [`the`.`id`];
> {code}
> Instead of {{{}[`the`.`id`]{}}}, you would expect {{{}[`the.id`]{}}}.
> Here an example where the nested column exists:
> {code:scala}
> spark.range(1).select(struct("id").as("the"))
>   .select("the.id").show()
> +---+
> | id|
> +---+
> |  0|
> +---+
> {code}
