Is this a bug? I have a command that should work to directly modify the inventory, to make it so my single player spectator server world makes it so everyone can see what's in my inventory.
execute as @a[name=!Roadhog360] run data modify entity @s Inventory set from entity @a[name=Roadhog360,limit=1] Inventory
However, it doesn't work, and targeting the player directly results in "Unable to modify player data". Considering this has a dedicated message I can't be sure if this is a bug.
But if this gets closed with 'Works as Intended'... Why? I don't see any reason to restrict this and it throws so many good redstone ideas right into the trash.

Dinnerbone explained the reason for why this is working as intended here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftCommands/comments/9ty42s/data_modify_is_irritating_me_today/e91rwc7/?context=3
Comment 1: I searched "Unable to modify player data" before posting this ticket. Annoyingly, Jira didn't even return any related search results to what I searched no matter how I worded it
Comment 2: That makes so much sense, than you so much. So... with that being said, how am I supposed to sync a player inventory?
Thank you for your report!
