@Julie_A there are a few ways to switch between the two through API and GUI. take a look at the thread(s) here and see if they are relevant to your question:
via GUI, you can configure your preferences so new files start with specific default transform op type for new files or alter the prim’s attribute if you’d like. just be aware they are additive to one another if you choose to append rather than replacing orientation altogether:
in the above clip, i replaced orient by deleting the attribute first followed by adding translate, orient, scale. if you’d like to append, you could simply add the rotation transform op attribute.
