There is no option to convert the text parameter to a timestamp - you need
to cast it - or use a parsing function or something else - but a text value
cannot drop directly into a timestamp column. But it's not the case
statement that is the issue - but rather the update - so you could shorten
the statement a little with this.

UPDATE t_update SET F1 = (CASE WHEN (? IS NULL ) THEN (?) ) ELSE (?) ) END)
::timestamp(6)

You don't need a timestamp until you place in in the column.

You also probably don't want a case statement here - not the standard
option for this

UPDATE t_update SET F1 = COALESCE(?, ?)::timestamp(6) with the first ?
being the when above and the second being the else above. See here [1]
