How do I avoid this domain forwarding issue with Godaddy where subdomains accumulate?

I have domain forwarding enabled since my site is hosted on Heroku.

I have one forward configured this way

example.com -> https://www.example.com

This puts in the www subdomain and has worked pretty well for several years. I'm setting up a staging server that I would like to access via

https://staging.example.com

I have pointed staging.example.com to the proper place at heroku, however when I enter

https://staging.example.com

it forwards to

https://www.staging.example.com

and there is a DNS unfound error.

Is there a way to accomplish this other than domain forwarding?

This is not a duplicate at all. Basically my starting state (that the bare domain points to the www) is the state that the supposed duplicate is trying to get to. My questions is about how to avoid a repercussion of the setup. – pixelearth Jun 12 '18 at 18:21
