i have a list field called managers referencing to sys_user table.

So whenever the user gets removed from the manager field, I need to set another field as false.

But for this how can i get the list of all users that is removed from the manager list field.

How to write a Br to get the list of all users that is removed from the list field manager.

In a before Update Business Rule, you can use the previous object.  Combined with the ArrayUtil methods, you can easily get a list of records removed from the List field like this:

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

	prevArr = previous.u_managers.split(',');
	curArr = current.u_managers.split(',');
	var arrayUtil = new global.ArrayUtil();
	var delArr = arrayUtil.diff(prevArr, curArr);
	gs.addInfoMessage('del=' + delArr)
		
})(current, previous);
