Scenario:
This was a new thing I discovered while helping my friend to fix a small problem he was facing while editing his list in Datasheet view. Problem was that he can edit all the other lists in Datasheet view mode except the one he had for which Datasheet says its in Read Only mode.
Solution:
I started comparing all the properties of the list with a regular list. Content Approval was the culprit. Actually Content Approval locks the list to Read Only in Datasheet view. The fact that items can be in a pending or rejected state can be too confusing for that view.

Hi-Whats the fix for this issue as I still need content approval but want to edit in datasheet
Unfortunately as per microsoft thats something is by design and that why there is no fix. You might want to write your own interface for multi-approval. Also I have seen a bulk approval solutions online sometime's back, so try finding it.
Thanks for sharing. You helped me a lot!
