For the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to use the MDToolBar right_action_items: in kv to change screens. I know that with a button on_release: I can add a simple app.root.current = 'analyzer' (I defined my screen as 'analyzer' and 'main').
Yet you can't add this code to a right_action_items: Lambda x: app.root.current = 'analyzer' in kv.
So I tried adding a function in python that would do this for me inside my Manager(ScreenManager) -->
def change_screen(self, inst):
Manager.current = f'{inst.ids.main.text}'
But it doesn't work... I'm lost, confused, afraid... help. me. please...

I have been having the same problem, I didn't find the perfect solution, but I found a way to remedy it.
In place of the right_action_items I used MDFloatActionButton inside the MDToolbar to look like this:
MDToolbar:
title: 'Settings'
elevation: 10
MDFloatingActionButton:
icon: 'keyboard-backspace'
theme_text_color: 'Custom'
elevation: 0
md_bg_color: app.theme_cls.primary_color
enter code here on_release: root.ids.screen_manager.current = 'Home'
