When to re-evaluate workflow rules after field update?
If Re-evaluate Workflow Rules After Field Change is enabled for a field update action, Salesforce re-evaluates all workflow rules on the object if the field update results in a change to the value of the field. If the field update changes the field’s value, all workflow rules on the associated object are re-evaluated.
