Not able to stop after update br for new record

[MaharshiC]

Hi,

I have written this after update br on change of a field and is working fine for existing records but I dont want it to run the very first time the record is creted. The record gets created through an ui action and so the field automatically gets field from the ui action but I want to stop this after update br to work for new records created but rather it should work only when a user manually changes the field.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    if (!current.isNewRecord()) {

       
            var item = new GlideRecord('x_iem_tqa_work_request_items');
            item.addQuery('associated_work_order_number.sys_id', current.sys_id);
            item.addQuery('tag_report_anomaly_other', 'NOT IN', current.associated_work_request_item_number);
            item.query();
            while (item.next()) {
                item.associated_work_order_number = '';
                item.selected_work_items = false;
                item.state = 'Planning Completed';
                item.update();
            }

      
    }

})(current, previous);

 Is there an alternative to do this?

@MaharshiC 

if you want this BR to run only for manual changes then in BR condition add this check for empty

current.associated_work_request_item_number.changes() && 
        !current.associated_work_request_item_number.nil()
