- Is it possible to change the shape of a Part::Feature with the Gui ?
- Is it possible to create a Part::Feature with a user given name with the Gui ?
I know it is possible by Python and how, but I would like to know it it possible with the Gui too.

Not that I am aware of. This in an internal object, so there is hardly a reason for regular users to create it.
But I guess it could be done. Just a simple Gui Command, with a small task panel, which takes two values, a Shape and a name.

sure there is, https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=46971
I am aware it would not hard to code, but if it would be possible allready there is no need to code it.

Not sure if this is what you want, but...
(This requires a recent build of 0.19.)
In Part workbench create a sphere and a cube primitive. Go to the Part menu, create a simple copy of the sphere, to get a new object Sphere001. Right click on the property tree and enable Show All. You will see a property of Sphere001 called Shape. Right click there and choose Expression. In the dialog enter Box.Shape. Now Sphere001 contains the shape of the cube instead of the shape of the Sphere, and it's parametric such that changes to the original cube become reflected in Sphere001.
Edit: fixed typo

Re: change the Shape of a Part::Feature with the Gui
very cool. Just the step to choose the object would be cool if it would be possible with Gui to, but this great already.
Re: change the Shape of a Part::Feature with the Gui
The thing is, what would you change the shape of your Part::Feature with? Is it the shape of another object? (Something like "copy shape of object...") Or something not displayed in the GUI? (Then, where does it live?)
Re: change the Shape of a Part::Feature with the Gui
Yes. Essentially a usage scenario in FEM is replacing an older shape with a new shape, while keeping the rest of the FEM setup in place.
