Desired capability or behavior.

When using SNOPT in add_driver from methods for level 2, any upstream optimizer tolerance options are overwritten by default values.

We can try checking if a value in driver options exists before setting the default. Is there a specific use case where you need to define driver options before calling add_driver, or can you move your tolerance setting to after that call via prob.driver.opt_settings["option_name"]? I'm pretty sure that should work without any modification to source code, but I've never tried manually changed driver settings like tolerance myself before
