Error: Compile Error: Invalid field

I am creating a test class for an Apex class. My code:

@isTest
public class LsUnitListTest
{
    static testMethod void testLsUnitListPage()
    {
    
        Lease__c objLease = new Lease__c(Name = 'Test Lease');
        insert objLease;
       
        List<Lease_Unit_Association__c> lstUnit = new List<Lease_Unit_Association__c>{  new Unit__c(    Unit__c = 'Test Unit1', Unit__c = objLease.ID,  Property_Unit__r.Unit_Status_Code__c = 'N'),

I am encountering the following error:
Error: Compile Error: Invalid field Unit__c for SObject Unit__c at line 10 column 115

I am not quite sure what it is telling me. Do I have an invalid field type in the test? I get the feeling it is something obvious. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In your line 'List<Lease_Unit_Association__c> lstUnit = new List<Lease_Unit_Association__c>{  new Unit__c(    Unit__c = 'Test Unit1', Unit__c = objLease.ID,  Property_Unit__r.Unit_Status_Code__c = 'N')' You are listing the API Field Name 'Unit__c' twice, and you are assigning two different values to it.  Is this Unit__c fiels on the Unit__c object a String or a Lookup?

Worse. It is a formula.

And it is not the Unit__c object; it is the Lease_Unit_Association__c object.
Chris Gary CloudPerformerChris Gary CloudPerformer
Then there is your problem.  You are trying to define a Unit__c sObject in a List of Lease_Unit_Association__c objects when you should be defining a new Lease_Unit_Association__c() object.  It should look like the following: 
List<Lease_Unit_Association__c> lstUnit = new List<Lease_Unit_Association__c>{  new Lease_Unit_Association__c(    Unit__c = 'Test Unit1', Unit__c = objLease.ID,  Property_Unit__r.Unit_Status_Code__c = 'N')};

Also - yeah - you can't set a formula field.  You still have something funky going on with  this "Unit__c = 'Test Unit1', Unit__c = objLease.ID" piece.
