Material Override for Maya Hair with vrayHairMtl

[sharktacos]

Currently setting a Material Override in a render layer has no effect on Maya Hair using the vrayHairMtl. Is there are workaround or plans to fix this?
I of course realize I can manually assign the material in the render later, but that's not the same as a material override.

thanks!

Can you explain how you do the override?

For example: In the render layer, right click and Overrides > Create New Material Override > Lambert.
This will apply a Lambert to everything in the render layer, except the hair. So the vray attribute "hair shader" in the hair system shape does not seem to respect material overrides.
