Below Script worked for me :

var tableSource=new Array();
var selection = this.getField("List Box1").currentValueIndices;
var List1 = this.getField("List Box1");
var List2 = this.getField("List Box2")
if (typeof selection!="object") {
	tableSource.push([List1.getItemAt(selection,false),List1.getItemAt(selection,true)]);
} else {
	for (var i=0; i<selection.length; i++) tableSource.push([List1.getItemAt(selection[i],false),List1.getItemAt(selection[i],true)]);
}
var tableCible=new Array();
var listeCible=List2.value;
if (typeof listeCible!="object") {
	tableCible.push([List2.getItemAt(0,false),List2.getItemAt(1,true)]);
} 
tableCible.push([List2.getItemAt(i,false),List2.getItemAt(i,true)]);
}
for (var i=0; i<tableSource.length; i++) {
	var abc = 0;
	for (j=0; j<tableCible.length; j++) {
		if (tableSource[i][0]==tableCible[j][0] && tableSource[i][1]==tableCible[j][1]) {
			abc++;
			break;
		}
		if (abc==0) List2.insertItemAt(tableSource[i][0],tableSource[i][1],-1);
	}
}

You can use this code to do it:var f1 = this.getField("List Box1");var f2 = this.getField("List Box2");var selectedItems = f1.value;if (typeof selectedItems=="object") {for (var i in selectedItems) {f2.insertItemAt({cName: selectedItems[i], nIdx: -1});}} else f2.insertItemAt({cName: selectedItems, nIdx: -1}); Adjust the field names in the first two lines, as needed.
