To make matters even more confusing, even though the current Organic Law was written in 2017, it was not ratified until 2019, and technically did not come into effect until February 2020.

Damn you're right!

The Preamble should have the date when it was finally promulgated at the end of the legislative process (referendum included)

Since we've already been referring to it by the 2017 date for years now, let's stick to current usage, if that's okay.  The drafting date is not any more right or wrong than the date of promulgation.  I don't feel strongly about this, though, so I'm willing to change it if others really think it's important for some reason.

Well, of course the date of promulgation is way more important and have a central role in the application of said law.

Turning again to the questions above: how could the King have promulgated the OrgLaw in 2017 (as it says in the Preamble) if it was approved only in 2019?
It's a simple scribal error that should be corrected.

I'd actually suggest that the date the text was composed is rather more important than the date it was promulgated, since that might actually be useful information -- the date it was promulgated is on record elsewhere. But since this is the preamble and descriptive, really, I'm not too fussed if most people agree with you.
