Describe issue

Working with a data set that has many contextual variables and keep getting the following error. I know I need to adjust something about the data set, but I'm not sure what. Any guidance would be helpful.

Error in check_context(dt_input, context_vars, context_signs) : 
  Allowed values for 'context_signs' are: positive, negative, default

Provide reproducible example

Blinded sample data set: MMMWeeklyV2.xlsx

InputCollect <- robyn_inputs(
  dt_input = MMMWeeklyV2,
  dt_holidays = dt_prophet_holidays,
  date_var = "Date", # date format must be "2020-01-01"
  dep_var = "Revenue", # there should be only one dependent variable
  dep_var_type = "revenue", # "revenue" (ROI) or "conversion" (CPA)
  prophet_vars = c("trend", "season", "holiday"), # "trend","season", "weekday" & "holiday"
  prophet_country = "US", # input country code. Check: dt_prophet_holidays
  context_vars = c("econactiv", "privatehousingunits", "thirtyyrmortgage", "vehiclesales", "primeloan"), # e.g. competitors, discount, unemployment etc
  paid_media_spends = c("Radio_S", "DSPDis_S", "DSPVid_S", "DSPAud_S", "FBBrand_S", "FBNonBrand_S", "GoogleBrand_S", "GoogleNonBrand_S", "YouTube_S"), # mandatory input
  paid_media_vars = c("Radio_S", "DSPDis_I", "DSPVid_I", "DSPAud_I", "FBBrand_I", "FBNonBrand_I", "GoogleBrand_I", "GoogleNonBrand_I", "YouTube_I" ), # mandatory.
  # paid_media_vars must have same order as paid_media_spends. Use media exposure metrics like
  # impressions, GRP etc. If not applicable, use spend instead.
  organic_vars = "Promo_NIL", "Promo_Home", "Promo_Product", "Event", # marketing activity without media spend
  factor_vars = c("Promo_NIL", "Promo_Home", "Promo_Product", "Event"), # force variables in context_vars or organic_vars to be categorical
  window_start = "2018-12-30",
  window_end = "2024-08-25",
  adstock = "geometric" # geometric, weibull_cdf or weibull_pdf.
