That's wrong:

App.newDocument()
helix=App.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Helix")
helix.Style
helix.Style=1
helix.Style

Not wrong, but not specific enough. The Part WB Gui does not include a way to select a height style for Helix at creation time.

IMO the "old" style was a bug and only because ulrich1a didn't want to change his macro and wanted to keep old code running without touching it I introduced the old/new style property.

The property is intentionally set to be invisible so that in the property editor it doesn't appear because I don't see any necessity of using the old and incorrect style.

When creating a helix in the GUI it uses the new style, btw.

"When creating a helix in the GUI it uses the new style, btw."

Ah, I missed that. No need for this issue report then. Sorry.

Not a bug.
