To bring up means to mention or introduce a topic in conversation. The past form of the verb is the irregular form brought. For example:
She brought up the budget during the meeting. – This means she introduced the topic of the budget.
The structure was brought up is in the passive voice. It means someone mentioned the topic, but you don't say who mentioned it. The focus is on the action, not the person. For example:
The issue was brought up by several users. – This means users mentioned the issue, but the focus is on the issue itself.
