It sounds like the document library is set to require content approval, which is preventing you from editing the document. When content approval is enabled, any changes made to a document while it is in a pending state (not yet approved) are not allowed. This is because only approved versions of a document can be edited.
To check if content approval is enabled and to disable it if necessary, follow these steps:
1. Go to the document library and click on "Library Settings" in the "Library" tab of the ribbon.
2. Click on "Versioning settings" in the "General Settings" section.
3. Look for the "Content Approval" section and see if it is set to "Yes". If it is, click on "No" and save the changes.
4. Try checking out and editing a document again to see if the issue has been resolved.
If content approval is not the issue, you may want to check the permissions of the metadata columns to ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit them. To do this, go to the library settings and click on the column you are having trouble with. In the "Column" settings page, make sure that the "Read-Only" option is not selected for the column. If it is, uncheck it and save the changes.
