Hi, I would like to know if the community has an opinion on the best practice for my use case.

We are making some full-stack feature enhancements to an app. There are multiple user stories/feature enhancements, each of which would require modification of both API and frontend app.

We are running two sprints, one to update the API and the other to update the frontend.

I am wondering if I should create three issues for each user story, one master issue to track and discuss each feature enhancement with two separate sub-issues for API and frontend changes. This way I can assign the API sub-issue to the backend sprint and the frontend sub-issue to the frontend sprint. But this is leading to a large number of issues not easy to manage, especially in project boards and views.

Are there guidelines / best practices on how to approach such situations?
