Reproducing the Issue

In workflow rules data model following rule was added:

<trueoutput>GLB_018</trueoutput>
   <conditions>
         <and>
               <equal id="personRelationshipInfo.relationship-type" inverse="true"/>
               <equal compareToNew="true" id="personRelationshipInfo.relationship-type" value="13"/>
         </and>
          </conditions>

Workflow rules configured for the Dependents portlet do not supported triggering on individual field changes (it is not supported).

         <or>
               <equal id="personRelationshipInfo.relationship-type" inverse="true"/>

          </conditions>
</rule>
