Bug? SSS-Texture

I can't seem to assign a SSS texture.
Would that be a bug, or am I missing something?
(Still running on 3.13)
Thanks, Christoph

Is Single Side mode enabled? The maps are only available in that mode.

hmm no, I thought the first one should work even without single side enabled?
okay, my mistake ...

Single sided SSS and the "regular" one are totally different approaches to creating an SSS effect, with the regular SSS being a true volumetric solution. For this reason we would need volumetric textures in order for it to be texturable, it just can't work with 2D textures. With a 2D texture it can only work at the surface level. If you still want to apply a texture onto the surface when using regular SSS, then adding it to the transmittance slot is the best way to go.
