Description:
The values in LIST COLUMNS partitions are not normalised/formatted to what the output from its columns would look like, but seems to be kept as-is from how they were created.

How to repeat:
create table t (a int, b varchar(255), c datetime, d varchar(255))
partition by list columns (a,b,c)
(partition p0 values in ((1,"aa",'20220101'),(2,"BB",'2021-01-01')),
 partition p1 values in ((1,"bb",'2023-01-01 00:01:02'),(3,"aA",'20230102030405')),
 partition p3 values in ((2,"Aa",'2021-09-09 12:00:00'),(3,"Bb",'2020-02-02 02:02:02')));
show create table t;

Suggested fix:
Normalise/format the constants according to the column type normal output.
