Impossible de décomposer le JSON imbriqué dans le dataframe Spark

id|approvaljson
1|[{"approvertype":"1st line manager","status":"approved"},{"approvertype":"2nd line manager","status":"approved"}]
2|[{"approvertype":"1st line manager","status":"approved"},{"approvertype":"2nd line manager","status":"rejected"}]

id|approvaltype|status
1|1st line manager|approved
1|2nd line manager|approved
2|1st line manager|approved
2|2nd line manager|rejected

df_exploded = df.withcolumn("approvaljson", explode("approvaljson"))

Cannot resolve "explode(ApprovalJSON)" due to data type mismatch:
parameter 1 requires ("ARRAY" or "MAP") type, however, "ApprovalJSON"
is of "STRING" type.;

df1 = df.withcolumn("approvaljson", f.from_json("approvaljson", schema="array<struct<approvertype string, status string>>"))
df1 = df1.select("id", f.inline('approvaljson'))

df1.show()
