[jira] [Comment Edited] (SPARK-36554) Error message while trying to use spark sql functions directly on dataframe columns without using select expression

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-36554?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17432488#comment-17432488 ]

from pyspark.sql.functions import make_date

df = spark.createDataFrame([(2020, 6, 26), (1000, 2, 29), (-44, 1, 1)],['Y', 'M', 'D'])

df.select(make_date(df.Y,df.M,df.D).alias("datefield")).show()


[~nicolasazrak] so as part of the change will this code work without error message ?
