2249120 - Dependents: Fields not showing values in Dependents portlet after clicking save

Symptom

When an employee is adding a dependent in Personal information, selecting Edit and entering all required information on the initial screen and hitting Save, only the Relationship field is saved. First name, Last name and DOB are blank.

This is only an issue when proxying as an employee, not when logged in as admin user.
