Broken: version: 3.1.2, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-31 17:40, hash: rBcc66d1020c3b
Worked: untested

Short description of error
After assigning object A to a modifier field on object B, object A cannot be snapped to any faces/edges/vertices/etc of object B.
Example: When using an empty as a projector for the UV Project modifier, this empty cannot be snapped to the faces of this object.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Create an object
  2. Add a modifier to it which has an object field
  3. Create a second object and assign it to the modifier

-> The second object now cannot be snapped to the first object

Event Timeline

Hi, thanks for the report. Snapping is not possible if same object is used in modifiers tab. see T82795, T54241
This is working as expected and will not be considered as bug for now.
