The first module I can think of reading your description is Nodes, which is described as
The Nodes module allows a user to edit multiple nodes at once. The module provides a simple table layout, similar to Editview, so that multiple nodes can be seen at once, and quickly and easily edited.
Changes to a node are done using AJAX like calls, so that as each field is edited, it is changed on the live version of the node. This means that any edits that take place are not submitted in bulk, and therefore any problems that arise as editing takes place can be dealt with on a field by field basis.
Unfortunately, the project doesn't have any public release.
Editview, referred in the description, is a Views plugin that allow to create a view were all the listed nodes are editable.
