Animating hair length using texture, not compatible?

[Zachary_Booth]

Arnold seems to ignore what I put in the "Texture" field in the native C4D hair material. I want to simulate grass growing and spreading by using an animated texture map, but right now it doesn't seem possible. Am I doing something wrong?

Seems like a bug, or might be a limitation. I have to ask the MAXON support.
